Integration Controls explores how personalized home entertainment systems can transform everyday living in St. Louis residences. It emphasizes that entertainment is more than just audio and video—it's about creating immersive, emotionally resonant experiences through integrated technologies like multi-room audio, dynamic lighting, and high-performance media systems. Whether it's a cozy movie night, a lively gathering, or a quiet moment with music, Integration Controls designs systems that blend seamlessly with a home's aesthetics and lifestyle, making entertainment effortless, beautiful, and deeply personal.
When most people think about home entertainment, their mind jumps to movies on the big screen or music playing while dinner sizzles on the stove. The best entertainment experiences, however, go beyond what you see or hear — they’re about how your home makes you feel.
At Integration Controls, entertainment is one of four essential experiences we create for clients. (The others — ambiance, comfort, and peace of mind — are equally important, but for now, let’s press play on ‘entertainment’.) Whether it's hosting friends, enjoying music, or winding down with a favorite film, entertainment plays a powerful role in making home feel like your favorite place to be.
Entertainment looks different for everyone — and that’s exactly the point. Some enjoy family movie nights in a cozy media room that rivals boutique theaters. Others host weekend gatherings with music flowing through every room and lights shifting effortlessly from dinner-ready to dance-floor glow. For some, it’s a solo moment: a favorite album, a glass of wine, and a lighting scene that sets the perfect mood.
With the right technology, these experiences feel effortless. That’s where we come in.
Multi-room audio lets you set the tone with ease — jazz in the kitchen, mellow tracks on the patio, or a whole-home playlist that follows you as you move. Systems are tailored to your style: from built-in traditional speakers, to invisible speakers you can wallpaper over, to sculptural showpieces like Bang & Olufsen – we help you ‘see’ your audio/visual experience in a way that preserves your aesthetic.
Lighting does more than brighten a space; it enhances the entire entertainment experience. With dynamic, color-changing lighting, your home becomes the backdrop for celebration, relaxation, and everything in between. Imagine candlelight warmth for a cozy dinner, bold hues for a birthday, or the perfect shade of amber for cocktail hour.
With a control system like Lutron or Josh.ai allowing for seamless control, your lights now add the perfect mood, along with music and motorized shades— all with the tap of a button or a preset scene.
Streaming video is convenient and often ends with you playing on your phone waiting for it to buffer. With a proper network, streaming becomes a better experience and for an even better step up, we use Kaleidescape movie servers to deliver uncompressed audio and video for the best experience possible. Pair your content with the right screen, surround sound, and acoustic environment to elevate your space into an immersive escape.
Whether you're building a dedicated theater or reimagining your living room as a media space, we bring together aesthetics and performance to make it shine. Expect crisp visuals, discreet speakers, thoughtful lighting, and automation that sets the scene when you sit down — all without disrupting your design.
When possible, it’s important to design home entertainment systems into a project from the very beginning. Whether you have plans and haven’t started yet – or find yourself with a room that is already built and needs amping up in the entertainment department, we can still help.
We take time to learn about your home and what matters to you — whether it's Sunday football, jazz on vinyl, or impromptu living room dance parties — so we can create systems that enhance those moments.
A well-done, personalized entertainment system can be a transformational experience!
